What car do you guys think???/
A friend of mine Drives a very nice Supra and it is up for Sale.
He would still like performance, a boot and space for 4 adults.
Unfortunately his wife claims Subaru's are for boy racers only and no M3's as they are drug dealers cars. All are direct quotes from her.
He is looking at:
Audi S4
Lexus IS200 Supercharged
Toyota Altezza RS200
BMW M5
Seat Leon Cupra R
Are there any others you knowlegable lot think he should be considering??
Budget is around £10K and he doesnt do a lot of miles (70 a week) so running costs are not so important to him.
Cheers

Audi S4's are very tunable. But..........
As with all B5 Audi's they all have the same traits, ie. Numb steering and over-servoed brakes. Gear action wasn't great either. My old man had an B5 S4, and low down Torque is very good, while top end power was disapointing. But a remap should take care of that.
What I found worse than anything though, was the seats. Rock hard. After an hour sat in them, my back would start to ache.
Very quick cars though.
